Maritime Nation Honors Veterans with Formation and NYC Parade

On Wednesday, November 11, Maritime Nation came together to honor those who have served. The morning began with our annual Veterans Day Formation, a tribute to the service and sacrifice of our student, faculty, and staff veterans, and to the millions of veterans across the country.

Later in the day, the Regiment of Cadets participated in the NYC Veterans Day Parade. Maritime College President RADM John A. Okon ‘91 marched alongside the Regiment of Cadets, regimental leadership, honor guard, and band, joining thousands of veterans and supporters along the route. Maritime College was honored to represent the college and to pay tribute to veterans across New York City and the nation.

To all who have worn the uniform: thank you. Your commitment to duty and to others is an example for every cadet and member of our community.
